News and Open Source Releases

The Linux Mint team are working to improve performance of the Cinnamon desktop, the Blueberry Bluetooth system tray tool now allows users to connect and disconnect paired devices with a click, and the project is making it possible to test cutting edge packages that are updated daily: "We're currently working on making it possible to 'alpha-test' Linux Mint. A 'Daily Build' PPA is available. This PPA gathers the latest code changes for the software we work on (Mint tools, Xapps, Cinnamon etc.), builds packages on a daily base and provides software updates. Be warned, daily builds are unstable by definition and translations aren't complete until we get close to beta." Further details can be found in the project's newsletter.
